Saturday night-
When she got home that day, Qiao Ruo found the matter still clouding her mind. After the talk with Cree, he had remained silent for the remaining hours that she was at his place, and an unexpected phone call had given her the excuse to leave the mansion. Her observant nature immediately told her something was wrong with Cree the very moment he had walked away. Still, she didn't understand what was bothering him. She figured something had happened to Cree that morning, but it had never occurred to her that the problem had been her. She assumed he had a problem with work, and she had never seen him this way before. He was a smooth talker, and being silent for hours wasn't like him.
